The Fifth Turkish Column is very active in Armenia; it intoxicates all spheres of life, including the relations with the Armenian Diaspora. This is what High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs under the Prime Minister of Armenia Zareh Sinanyan said today.

“After the war, unfortunately, for political considerations, certain organizations of the old Diaspora became hostile towards Armenia, and it was very wrong on their part. Those organizations have been monopolists in the relations with Armenia for many years. However, now we are going to renounce this approach and work with all organizations and individuals. We are even ready to work with those who have had a bad attitude towards Armenia after 2018,” he stated.

Sinanyan clarified that President of the Association of Armenian Lawyers of Russia Shahen Petrosyan, who was awarded a medal in the past and which caused the discontent of other Armenians who provided assistance during the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, was either at the Embassy of Armenia or was providing assistance every day during the war. Sinanyan added that he and others have made tremendous contributions.
